Freshly Made Awesome!

I'm back again to share a little bit more AWESOME from one of Close to My Heart's new stamp sets, Beyond Awesome!  I used the new sketch from the ladies over at Freshly Made Sketches this week, but turned it on its side:

Have you guys ever heard of Kid President?  If not, I HIGHLY suggest you look him up on YouTube.  I discovered him through my peeps at school, and I adore his outlook on life!  He has a thing for making people happy and just plain being an awesome human.  He also likes corn dogs.  You guys...I just had to.

That AWESOME watercolor background was painted my by AWESOME kiddo!

I made a card JUST for him using the Carnival Fun Stamps and Thin Cuts!  The CS colors are Lagoon and the soon to retire Pear--both found in the Adventure CS Pack.  The cute little sunglasses worn by the corn dog (stamped in Goldrush and the retiring ink color Honey) are found on one of the Zip Strips from the Calypso Paper Packet.  Thanks to the awesome consultants who shared their sunglasses Zip Strip ideas!

I hope he likes it, because he is the definition of AWESOME!!!!

Last chance to grab this one today!

LAST DAY for the FLASH SALE bundles!

Father's Day Part Two

Soooooo, yeah, it was already Father's Day, but it isn't too late to start planning for next year, so I want to share another card I made the day I got my favorite birthday present...my MISTI stamping tool!!!  ( Did you take a breath reading that, lol?)

I am not sure if the pics I took help...but there are tons of videos about how to use the Misti on YouTube if you want to learn the best way.  I LOVE using a little trick to get the most out of my clear acrylic stamps from Close to My Heart...flipping the stamp over!  I used that simple method along with the Misti to get this bottle filled with my father-in-law's favorite kind of pop--Sunkist.  It just so happens to be my fave too!

The Misti has a clear door that swings open that replaces the need for a block.

I used the Day for Dad My Acrylix stamp set and the Calypso Paper Packet for this easy but personalized card.

Only in June!

Hurry!!!  Ends with June!!!
